David Kibuuka is one of the founders of "Modern Batik Art Painting" in Uganda & East Africa where he introduced the "Fragmentation" technique to traditional Batik Art. This modification added increasing background depth, broadness and a richer palette of colors, allowing detail and richness comparable to acrylic and water-color painting.His virtual gallery gives David the time to follow his passion which is teaching Modern Batik Art Technique to the next generation of artistic youth.  For more information go the the Ugandan Masters Website
